CHICKEN CACCIATORE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Salt and pepper the chicken on both sides. In a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat brown chicken on both sides; remove chicken to a plate. Reserve about 1 tablespoon of fat in the skillet.
• In the same skillet cook the mushrooms, onion, bell pepper, 1 teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon pepper until vegetables are softened and start to brown. Stir in the tomato paste, garlic, rosemary, and pepper flakes and cook until mixture is rust colored. Mix in the wine stirring any dripping off the bottom of the pan and continue cooking until liquid is evaporated.
• Mix in the diced tomatoes and chicken broth and then work the chicken into the mixture. Cook covered over low heat for about 25 minutes until chicken reaches a temperature of 175F. Remove cover and cook on medium high until sauce starts to thicken and chicken is done. (185F.)

CHICKEN CACCIATORE RECIPE FOR TWO

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• First, place the chicken pieces on a plate, and sprinkle both sides liberally with salt and pepper. Then, sprinkle the flour evenly over the chicken, turning it to coat it in the flour.
• Add the olive oil to a 9" oven-safe skillet, and place it over high heat.
• Once the oil is hot, add the chicken, skin side down and let it sear for 5-7 minutes. Flip the chicken when its golden brown on the first side, and sear it on the second side. Once both sides of the chicken are golden brown, remove the chicken from the pan and place on a plate. The chicken will not be cooked through at this point.
• While the chicken cooks, slice the onion into half-moon shapes, and seed and slice the pepper into strips. Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
• Drain off about half of the oil from the pan that you just seared the chicken in, and then add the onions and peppers. Cook for about 5 minutes, just to soften, and then stir in the garlic, thyme, oregano, wine, tomatoes and capers.
• Nestle the chicken back into the pan, skin side up, and slide it into the oven for 25 minutes.
• Serve the chicken on its own, or with pasta, bread or mashed potatoes.

ROUND 2 RECIPE: CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• In a large bowl or resealable plasic bag, add the flour, 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning and salt and pepper, to taste. Combine well, then add the chicken and toss to coat.
• In a large high-sided skillet with a lid, heat the canola oil over medium-high heat. Shake off excess flour from the chicken and fry in the oil until golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the chicken to a plate and reserve.
• To the pan, add the mushrooms and bell pepper and cook for 2 minutes, until slightly softened. Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, the tomato soup, and the chicken broth. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and add the reserved chicken. Cover with a lid and cook until the chicken is completely cooked through, about 20 to 25 minutes. Remove the lid 5 minutes before the end of the cooking time, to reduce the sauce slightly. Transfer the cacciatore to a serving platter, sprinkle with parsley and serve.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE

Steps:

• Sprinkle the chicken pieces with 1 teaspoon of each salt and pepper. Dredge the chicken pieces in the flour to coat lightly.
• In a large heavy saute pan, heat the oil over a medium-high flame. Add the chicken pieces to the pan and saute just until brown, about 5 minutes per side. If all the chicken does not fit in the pan, saute it in 2 batches. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set aside. Add the bell pepper, onion and garlic to the same pan and saute over medium heat until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the wine and simmer until reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Add the tomatoes with their juice, broth, capers and oregano. Return the chicken pieces to the pan and turn them to coat in the sauce. Bring the sauce to a simmer. Continue simmering over medium-low heat until the chicken is just cooked through, about 30 minutes for the breast pieces, and 20 minutes for the thighs.
• Using tongs, transfer the chicken to a platter. If necessary, boil the sauce until it thickens slightly, about 3 minutes. Spoon off any excess fat from atop the sauce. Spoon the sauce over the chicken, then sprinkle with the basil and serve.

CHICKEN CACCIATORE RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Liberally season chicken thighs with salt and pepper.
• In a 4-quart jumbo cooker, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook 3-4 minutes a side, until lightly browned. Transfer to a plate.
• Add another tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet before adding the mushrooms. Lightly season with salt and pepper, and cook until mushrooms begin to brown, about 5 minutes.
• Once browned, remove mushrooms to the same dish with the reserved chicken thighs.
• Add the final tablespoon of olive oil followed by the sliced onion and pepper. Season with salt and pepper, and cook over medium heat until they begin to brown, about 5-7 minutes.
• Create a well in the middle of the onion-pepper mixture and add the tomato paste. Cook out the tomato paste for about 1 minute before mixing it together with the onions and peppers.
• Add garlic, oregano, red pepper flakes, and rosemary. Mix them into the onion and peppers before adding the red wine. Use the moisture from the red wine to scrape off any stuck-on bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Let wine reduce by half before adding the diced tomatoes and chicken stock. Return to a simmer.
• Place chicken and mushrooms on top of the simmering sauce, being sure to also add any accumulated juices that may have collected. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
• Cook while covered for 12 minutes or until chicken's internal temperature reaches 165˚F (75˚C).
• Serve chicken and sauce with a side of pasta or bread.
• Enjoy!
